Le respect en ligne et hors ligne par Lidia Huletskaya – Belarus
Auteur : Lidia Huletskaya – Belarus
Editor: Carmen Becker
Brève description
Le problème des comportements non respectueux commence seulement à apparaître dans notre pays mais ses effets sont clairement visibles. Malheureusement, il est rare que nous prenions le temps d’aborder avec nos élèves les problèmes auxquels ils peuvent être confrontés sur l’internet et d’examiner leur comportement en ligne et leur mode de communication sur les réseaux sociaux. C’est pourquoi il est grand temps de nouer le dialogue avec eux pour savoir ce qu’ils pensent, leur indiquer les conséquences de l’indifférence et du manque de respect, et les sensibiliser et les former positivement aux attitudes et comportements respectueux dans l’espace social virtuel.

The youth and the Internet – raising awareness on responsible use of the Internet among Learners from lower and upper secondary schools by Bartosz Wilimborek - Poland
Author: Bartosz Wilimborek - Poland
Editor: Ana Žnidarec Čučković
Brief description
The project consists of 6 activities which are all combined into a full workshop on respectful behaviour. The activities were arranged according to the following stages:
1) First Learners identify what is and what is not respectful behaviour online.
2) Identification helps Learners to define what online respect is.
3) Having defined respect, next activities allow Learners to reflect on their online behaviour and aim to change it through experience (this will be done first through a concrete example of disrespectful behaviour, namely cyberbullying, and then through reflection on how Learners present themselves in online space).
4) In order to summarize Learners’ knowledge, they will be asked to suggest a minicampaign to spread their knowledge and positive examples.
5) Last activity helps Learners reflect on their learning process and evaluate the workshop.
This workshop was created with a group of 10 deaf Learners in mind (there needed to be more time provided for the translation). Furthermore, the workshop also promotes cooperative learning and the activities allow all Learners to become active participants.
The Pestalozzi Programme was the Council of Europe's programme for the professional development of teachers until the end of 2017.
